Strategic Overview

Only the introduction of a new world financial-monetary system, LaRouche writes, “would
permit the organization of a successful, durable form of general physical-economic
recovery from the presently onrushing catastrophe.”

A group of leading policy analysts has issued a letter demanding that President Bush
correct, or repudiate, statements made by Vice President Dick Cheney, in which he
embraced the concept of aggressive war.

International

If the mobilization against a military attack on Iran succeeds in thwarting the Cheney-Bush
war drive, at least through the middle of October, it is likely that the war party
will be forced to postpone its war of aggression until after the Nov. 7 mid-term elections.

Economics

The highly leveraged equity takeovers and buyouts of companies now being staged and
planned by hedge funds and private equity funds, are bets in a failing economic game,
and threaten to trigger an international debt collapse.

A dialogue on “The LaRouche Show” included UAW leaders Dan Aude, Green Bay, Wisconsin;
Michael Balls of Saginaw, Michigan; and Andy Kristich, from the Lockport/Buffalo region
in New York. Joining them were Bill Roberts of the LaRouche Youth Movement in Detroit;
and Paul Gallagher, EIR Economics Editor and liaison to Capitol Hill.
